raspbian "wheezy" wifi connection Openvpn disconnects wicd

[fellayaboy]

i have raspbian "wheezy" with working wifi connection...everytime i start openvpn "sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.conf" my connect drops and fails for wicd or wpasupplicant....everything is fine on openvpn..everything..idk what i did but i got openvpn to connect a few times after installing and using wicd...i did some iwconfig stuff at tty1 because i dont want to use gui but then again i started having issues of it not connecting when autostarting openvpn or manually...it seems that wicd/wpa-gui keeps dropping the connection and idk why...it wont connect when i run openvpn...im sick of it..im also trying not to use gui at all and connect it just in commandline..i cant even get basic internet to run from commandline and i've been googling the whoooole day and tried so many outdated commands that arent working . someone please help...why is openvpn kicking wicd in the balls when it connects? thanks

i found a solution ...

you have to edit
/etc/default/ifplugd

and change

INTERFACES="auto"
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="all"

to

HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="eth0 wlan0"

however after a few hours the connection just drops and the internet on raspbian just locks and stops working.

In Raspbian Stretch I don't have the /etc/default/ifplugd

Is there any other workaround for Stretch users?
